editTrying substantially the same message as I left on User_talk:Max24 here... As far as I understand it, the title of this entry should be D'elles, with just the one capital, as French titles always are.
I couldn't find any specific rules pertaining to album titles or tracks -- the only guidelines refer to standard rules in the English language, so I think the better option would be to follow external sources.
If you go Céline Dion's official website and discography, you'll see they consistenly use French spelling rules for French track titles [1], and English rules for English track titles [2]. They do this even when the two occur on the same album, as in The Collector's Series Volume One, where you get Only One Road but also Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy).
For this particular album, the album cover as reproduced on the article page also reads D'elles. What do you think? Mvuijlst 07:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
You guys don't speak french. There's many mistakes in the french titles of numerous song. Many accents are missing. -- comment left on 18:38, 3 August 2007 by 67.71.157.250
- Ah, well. I do speak French, but htat's beside the point. I haven't come across an incorrectly spelled title yet (must admit I haven't really looked for one either), but the incorrect capitalisation does get on my nerves. And I was looking for a consensus. Mvuijlst 15:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- As an anonymous user, I will second that. The only thing that needs to be clarified is that the album's title D'elles refers to About Women or Of Women, not men or men and women combined. Apart from that, there are no real issues here considering this is the English Wikipedia and these articles should follow grammatical standards for the English language and audience. Worry about French grammar on the French Wikipedia. --68.2.185.140 (talk) 00:14, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
